B2B Tip #62 - Wisdom According to Thea
.
Here's a list of wise ideas you should give some attention to. Thank you to my dear friend, Thea Swafford, for sending it to me so I could share it with you.
There's a ton of Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs, too, if you want to take a peek.
Here's the list:
Laws of Life :
1. Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
2. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
3. Brush your teeth before putting on your tie.
4. Buy ladders, extension cords and garden hoses longer than you think you'll need.
5. Ask anyone giving directions to repeat them at least twice.
6. Rehearse a joke before telling it.
7. Accept a breath mint if someone offers you one.
8. Over-estimate travel time by fifteen minutes.
9. Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don't let them down.
10. Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.
11. Don't be so concerned with your rights that you forget your manners.
12. Don't dismiss a good idea simply because you don't like the source.
13. Put the strap around your neck before looking through binoculars.
14. Trust in God, but lock your car.
15. Pray. There is immeasurable power in it.
16. Once in a while, invite the person behind you in the queue to go ahead of you.
17. Always pack an extra sandwich in your lunch, it won't go to waste.
18. Never say anything uncomplimentary about your family in the presence of others.
19. When you say "I am sorry" look the person in the eye.
20. No matter how old you get, hug and kiss your parents.
21. Phone home if you are going to be more than 20 minutes late.
22. Remember that everyone is influenced by kindness.
23. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter.
24. Do your homework and know your facts, but remember its passion that persuades.
25. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
26. Be as friendly to the janitor as you are to the chairman of the board.
27. Be bold. Providence loves boldness and will assist you in ways you wouldn't imagine.
28. Never take anybody for granted and never let anybody take you for granted.
29. Never marry a woman you love. Marry the woman who loves you.
30. LIVE your life, don't just wander through it.
31. When it comes to worrying or painting a picture, know when to stop.
32. Remember that no time spent with your children is ever wasted.
33. Hold your child's hand every chance you get. The time will come when he or she won't let you.
34. Remember that you can't move up when you're holding someone down.
35. Never leave a loved one without telling them that they're loved. You may not have another chance.
37. Don't be afraid of mistakes, that's how we grow, but make each one once and learn from other's mistakes as well.
38. Always sort through the load of white laundry before adding bleach. One day that other red sock is going to be in there.
39. Don't wear flip-flops when mowing the lawn or using the weed whip. Toes never look the same after re-assembly.
40. Negative emotions only hurt you. Nobody cares that your angry. You can't do anything positive when you are being negative. Get over it.
41. Grin. It deters negativity and attracts positive people, thoughts and emotions. (Warning.... grinning is contagious and creates a cycle of grinning that can lead to giggling, and then laughter if you stay in one place too long.)
Thanks, Thea ...
